This story is made by me and my friend Eve Valentine. :)
My name is Ally. I am 18 years old. I'm a normal teenager. My mom is a doctor and my dad is a policeman. I had a friend. He was more than just a friend. He was like a brother. I always told him everything. But a year ago something happened... Something that I will never forget. And now I am alone… without my friend.
***FLASHBACK***
I got a message. It was from Austin.
AUSTIN
Hey Ally. What's up?
ME
Hey. I am watching some boring movie.
Austin
Would you like to meet?
ME
I'd love to, but I have to wait for my parents. My dad is at work and my mom is visiting my grandma.
AUSTIN
OK. So, maybe we will meet at 5 p.m. You know where.
ME
Sure. See ya
AUSTIN
BYE
Me and Austin have a secret place in the forest. It is an abandoned house. Far in the woods. We always go there when we want to run away from our problems. We separate from the whole world. There is just us. Nobody knows about this.
My dad came back home at 4 p.m. We ate a dinner. I went to the hallway and started to get dress.
"Where are you going Ally?" my dad asked.
"I am going to meet Austin" I replied.
"OK. Have fun sweetheart" he said
"Thanks. Bye Dad" I screamed while I was leaving the house. I was walking through the forest. I wasn't in a hurry. I went to the cottage. It was so quiet there. I heard something… like someone was crying. I saw Austin. He was sitting on the floor.
"Austin?" I said. He turned his head. I saw his face. He had a cut on his lip and forehead. Tears were flowing down his cheeks.
"Again? Has he done that again?" His father has been hitting him since his mother died. I ran to him and gave him a hug. He hugged me back. When started to cry harder I strengthen my embrace.
After a few minutes I lit a fire in the fireplace. I took a clean, damp tea-towel and cleaned his wounds.
"Thank you" he whispered.
"No problem" I replied. "It's really nothing. You know, I'd do anything for you, right? You don't have to thank me"
"I don't know what would I do without you" he said.
"I will be always there for you" I replied. Tear flowed down his cheek.
"Why have he done this?" I was curious.
"Because I wanted to meet you" Those word were just a blow to the heart. So sweet and too painful.
"I am so sorry" I hugged him. I couldn't stand that his father did it to Austin because of me
"It's not your fault" he said and looked at me. So why did I feel guilty?
"Wait a second" I got up and I turned on the radio. I heard the beginning of "Never Say Never" by The Fray.
"Shall we dance?" Austin asked me with a cute smile on his face.
"Oh I don't know. I'm a terrible dancer" I relied.
"Oh come on. Don't make me beg you" he was nearly grinning
"Fine" He grabbed my hand and we started to dance. I felt so safe in his arms. I wish that moment would never end. Our problems didn't matter.
When the song finished I looked at my watch.
"OMG. It's really late. We should go. Your father will kill you" I said. And then I just realized what I just said. I felt so stupid.
"I will be fine, but you're right. We should go back" he replied sadly.
We went back home. He hugged me after he has escorted me and he went to his house.
"Where have you been Ally? Do you know what time is it?" my mom asked with anger in her voice.
"Sorry mom. It won't happen again." I said.
"OH. You're right. It won't, because you are grounded" she said.
"BUT.."
"NO BUTS"
"Fine" I yelled and ran to my room. I lay down on bed. I fell asleep. After about one hour I woke up. I saw blue and red lights. I looked through the window and I saw an ambulance and some people. I ran outside.
" Mom, what happened?" I asked.
"Go back home, Ally" my dad screamed.
"What happened?" I yelled.
"I am so sorry Ally" my mom said.
"Mom?"
"Austin fell down the stairs" she replied after a long pause
"But he's fine, right?"
"I'm so sorry sweetheart" she tried to hugged me, but I pulled her away.
"No…No…NO! It can't be" I looked at Austin's dad.
"You killed him!" I yelled at him with tears in my eyes.
"Ally!" my mom yelled. "It was an accident"
"You monster!" I started crying and I ran to the house in the forest.
"YOU SAID THAT YOU WILL BE FINE!" I screamed. Tears were flowing down my cheek.
"YOU SAID THAT YOU'LL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME!" My body was shaking. I was powerless, empty…
"You lied to me" I whispered. I couldn't breathe. I fell on the floor and all I wanted to do was cry.
*** NOW***
Since that day I've been going to our cottage every day. I always cry there and ask myself " Why Austin?". I miss him so much. It's like someone has ripped my heart from my chest. I know that Austin hadn't fallen. His dad had pushed him. It's his dad, who should be dead instead of Austin.
Today I was in our secret place too. When I came back to my house I sat on the windowsill. I was looking through the windows. Suddenly I saw somebody on a swing in Austin's garden. It was a boy. Has was about 17 years old and he had blond, wavy hair. OMG! Is this…? No way… Can't be!... I ran downstairs. My mom was in the kitchen. I looked at the swing. The boy was still there.
"Mom , look there" I said " Do you see that boy?"
"Ally, what are you talking about?"
"Don't you see?"
"Ally, I know that last time was hard for you, but-"
"I am not crazy!" I interrupted her.
"Ally, calm down. Come here. I'll make you hot chocolate" she said
"I'm not freaking out" I yelled and ran outside. I was running straight ahead. I don't know how long. I was just running. I don't know when I went through the gates of the cemetery.
